Germana Oliveira:any suggestion are welcome!I won't comment on your disk layout, but just one hint: you should absolutely use LVM. It is nothing more than an abstraction layer between your disks/partitions and the filesystems, but offers a lot of flexibility. If after one year you recognize that today's decision about the partition layout aren't optimal anymore, LVM makes it really easy to extend your filesystems. J.
+1You can easily move to another disk/partition (LVM volume) from an existing (functioning) LVM volume with just a couple of commands and a little wait time. By far the easiest way to do this. Of course, a dead disk is a horse of another color; LVM, like RAID, is NOT a backup.
